A very nice entry to the British horror movie scene, and to the horror genre as a whole!.

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2007)

I loved this movie from the get go, what with the whole idea of an apocalyptic vision of Britain, and the inclusion of "The Infected" running around as well wiping out, or infecting, all remains of human existence they find. It thrills me even to this day.
The atmosphere in the movie gives off the feeling of there really being no more hope for those spared the initial outbreak, and killing spree, caused by those infected with a rage virus. It makes you feel as if you're vastly out numbered and in danger no matter where you go or where you hide.
The ghost town like London was executed well, well enough to fool you into thinking "how could they make this happen", we get over turned buses and abandoned cars and fully desolate streets (no sound what so ever). It's creepy, if viewed in the right frame of mind.
Movies like this and Hot Fuzz and also Dog Soldiers and The Descent makes you proud of the British movie industry, instead of ashamed of it. Very entertaining movies they are as well. Unlike Hollywood where they remake classic after classic and Americanise foreign horror movies in the current rut they are in. Instead of being original to some extent!.
Well done, Danny Boyle, and the rest of his crew for a job well done.
